I’ve been thinking about this more and I think one interesting argument here is “toxic culture growth”. As in even if the thing is not distributed it might grow undesired toxic cultures through indirect exposures (like social media or forums discussions) even without the direct sharing.

this is another big potential as well. Does it perpetuate cultural behaviors that you want to see in society at large? Similar things like this have resulted from misogyny and the relevant history of feminism.

It's a whole thing.

I think this is slippery to the point of government mind control but maybe there’s something valuable to research here either way.

i think there is probably a level of government regulation that is productive, i'm just curious about how we even define where that line starts and ends, because there is not really an explicitly clear point, unless you have solid external inferences to start from.
